TRANSPORTER CO-ORDINATOR AND FOSTERER

I originally enquired about fostering for the IRR as my daughter Becky decided our own lovely Labrador Tess needed company, never mind about poor Poppy our cat!!  Within a few weeks we had our first foster dog Millie and with the help and support from my partner Malcolm, we haven’t stopped since.

I have done a few home checks even taken one of our lovely foster dogs Cassie to her forever home only a few miles away which to Malcolm’s delight turned out to be a 300 mile round trip!!!

Malcolm has been dragged out of bed at silly o’clock to collect dogs off the transport. I even got my brother Simon involved as a fosterer and he has had many dogs over the last 12 months.  I went on a microchipping course borrowing my brother’s dog to practice on.

We have had many foster dogs keeping Tess company but we finally gave in and have now adopted Harvey, one of our foster dogs so hence have joined the IRR’s ranks of failed fosterers!!!
